Seeing as 1T of metals as around 80-100k when selling to missions, is say it's more than enough
I just got through 30 limpets in an inept manner, and managed to get 2 Plat, 6 Pall, 4 Osmium, 5 Gold, 6 Silver and some shrapnel.
30 is quite a lot of limpets.
I know I wasted a handfull Prospecting by missing the target, but near the end of the run, Collectors were only lasting a minute before failing, I have a 5A, so they shouldnt. What could that be ?

They were crashing into things! They are very very weak, don't park near a roid, and do your best to have the fragments fly off in a good direction
Also don't move too fast as they can crash into you too. Lastly, they are a bit bugged so could be thatPs no reason not to completely fill your cargo with drones. They are used faster than they collect and are very very cheap

Could be this. The only time I tried the Collectors, they randomly tried to fly home on me prior to 1.3.2. but I thought they fixed that.
+1 for this. These drones are really annoying but made me value mining only metal-rich or pristine areas as to not waste money/time.
Totally off topic, but I just saw that you can set module priorities in Coriolis now. That is super cool.
So of the ones I've seen - they are all "fetch me [1-5] of [rare mineral]". They pay out around 80-100k cr per tonne. They seem to be based on your trade rank, as well as your relationship with the faction giving. The higher the requirements for those, the better payout.
I've seen requests for Osmium, Platinum, Paladium, Silver, Gold and Painite. Could be more.
It's a shame though that you can actually buy Paladium, Silver and Gold so pretty much anyone can exploit this. I'm sure they'll fix it real quick.
In Bubble and trying to rig up a miner. I am having difficulty.
How much better is the medium mining laser to say, two smalls?
I want to try in a cobra but I feel like the cargo room is lackluster for something that need to carry stuff back to sell.
I was thinking about a type 6, but would only be able to carry small mining lasers.
Ive got 15-18 million to spend.
Also I hate this new 10% loss on modules, the Asp seems like a likely candidate for this role but I hate losing that much money on a refit to my explorer.

To answer the actual question, 2 medium ones will empty an asteroid in about 30 seconds, smaller ones take about 2 or 3 times longer.
I'll leave the rest to you for experimenting
I thought this didn't get rolled out? I'm outside the bubble, so I can't verify.
the 10% loss on modules is NOT implemented. You can still sell them for exactly the purchase price.
However, if you trade in a full ship, you WILL lose 10% on all modules. This means that before trading in a ship, you can save a ton of money by manually swapping out all modules for the cheapest version you can put in that slot.

oh! it didn't! Nevermind then, mining Asp it is!
I've noticed many times where I can sell a module for MORE than the same shop sells it for. Not sure if there is a way to exploit this (as once you sell it, it moves to the "rebuy" section for the price you sold it), but it could be a new way to trade

Cool, I might even use this idea as an excuse to do stuff in an Orca.

Sell it, collect the cash and relog so it clears the buyback option?
Probably. To be honest, I can't mine for more than an hour without getting itchy trigger or explorer fingers. I do it in a clipper and I avoid fights. Maybe I'll go for the RES sites from now
So yeah, even though I go in a Clipper (which is way better than a T7 in everything), I never stay long enough to completely fill it
It's a lot more lucrative if you do missions. Generally, selling 3 Palladium for 200k is turning out to make me quite a bit. Raw trading is a lot faster, I admit, but I'm really enjoying this. Really. Need to hit the High Intensities - but not alone. Someone needs to join me
Last night I was in 9 Ceti, 3 jumps from Sol. It had major Metallic reserves. And a conflict zone. And a high tech station to get those missions from and buy and sell basically ANY part. Good place
